Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken is one of those everyone-should-know-how-to-make recipes. It’s easy and comes together quickly. In fact, it’s hard to mess up!

What to cook when You don’t have time to cook ? You know the feeling when you get home after a long day, it can be really hard to figure out how to cook healthy meals when you still have a million things to do and all you want to do is lie on the couch.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not whining. Anyway.
The point I’m trying to make is this, You’d have a set of “go-to” meals that could be made quickly with minimum effort and planning. This Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken is one of those meals that I have adored because I am always looking for easy recipes for chicken. I’ve had a few comments lately from some of you asking for simpler, easy dinner recipes that are kid-friendly too ! Take note everyone, this is one of them!

With 5 minutes of prep time and around 40 minutes of baking time – it’s totally true and totally amazing, making this dinner is probably even less work than going out or getting takeout, and– HELLO! It’s Chicken breasts, garlic, parmesan and bread crumbs baked in the oven with a drizzle of mayonnaise! What’s not to love?!

My husband and I just ate this for dinner tonight. YUMMMM!!! It turned out perfect! It’s just the two of us so I only made 2 breasts, and didn’t really measure the ingredients, just kinda threw stuff in a bowl and mixed it up. Turned out perfect!

Hi Marienny! Thanks for the kind words and I hope y’all enjoy it!
I’ve honestly never tried this with Provalone.
Parmesan is a pretty unique cheese, so You need a very hard, dry cheese to sub for parm.
Romano or Asiago cheeses are common subs for parmesan, and taste of Provolone can vary depending on the length of aging from a sweet mild flavor with a more creamy texture,
to a distinct piquant taste and dryer texture, longer aging time. So maybe you could try with aged provalone cheese.
Hope this help.

This is an easy-to-prepare recipe that is totally yummy! I made it tonight for my family. Delicious – I wish I’d taken a photo before it was devoured!. This will go on the regular menu rotation. Thanks much!

I just can’t wait to try this Chicken recipe…. I have made a recipe for garlic chicken years ago which you make a garlic butter melted and dip chicken in and them crush crackers and apply crackers to garlic chicken and bake. Thanks for all the good recipes…..

I made this tonight and it was REALLY GOOD. The only thing I did differently was season my chicken prior to putting the mayo spread on top. I seasoned it o both sides so it would be flavorful and not bland. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it was great.

I made this last night for my family of 3. I had to use Pizza Blend Cheese cause all I had on hand. Did not look like the pic but was delicious. I will def do this again or them as they devoured it all. Got to save one piece for my lunch. YAY!!! Thanks for sharing.

Your recipe calls for chicken breast cutlets, but the pictures show regular chicken breasts. Cutlets are much thinner cuts of the breast which could make a difference in the cooking time. Could you clarify which cut of the breast you used? Thanks. Look forward to trying this recipe!

Made this for dinner tonight with baby potatoes and broccoli. Yum-meeeeee. I did pound out the breasts so they’d cook faster and be tender (if the bird was a bit tough, you never know) I grated fresh parmasean in my ninja food processor and stirred in some fresh garlic to the mayo mixture. I only had plain Panko so I stirred some Italian seasoning inot it with some olive oil, great flavor and browned perfectly with a nice crunch. Everyone had seconds.

I made this for a quick dinner the other night when I was really not feeling well and did not have the energy to make anything that required much effort. This totally fit the bill and was fantastic! The chicken was so moist and delicious. I did not have lemon pepper, so I omitted it completely and just added some parsley to the breadcrumb mixture. I think I may try some panko breadcrumbs next time, but this recipe is definitely a keeper. My husband and I both loved it! Thanks for the recipe!!
